Welcome to the Weekly Sceptic episode 85
This week:
-Nick and Toby wish their viewers and listeners happy St George's Day – or, as Nick puts it, happy wankers-posting-about-how-St-George-was-really-Turkish Day -Are we heading for a summer election, given the passing of the Rwanda Bill and the increase in defence spending? -Mark Menzies is the latest in a string of gay Tory MPs to be caught up in an embarrassing sex scandal. What is it about Cameron's A-listers? -The Met has got itself into a pickle over refusing to let Gideon Falter cross the road during a pro-Palestinian protest because he's "openly Jewish". Should Mark Rowley resign? -Plus everyone’s favourite section, Peak Woke, and premium content on www.basedmedia.org, which this week includes:
-Should we criticise HIGNFY for only making fun of Gender Woo Woo when it became safe to do so, or celebrate the fact that the tide has turned? -16 year-old anorexic girls may be eligible with suicide help under Scotland's Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults Bill -And in the Based Department, Nick nominates Camilla Tominey for telling Femi to go f*** himself
